...Senator Edward Kennedy. No, I do not hate him. In many ways, he is a likeable person, but I do not think he is qualified to be President. Kennedy is a superb candidate for a nomination because people are intrigued with his looks, wealth, speaking ability and family name. But when you probe and ask people if they want him in the White House, his support tends to evaporate. My guess and hope is that the same thing will happen in 1984.

The soul is also in the lyrics themselves, and Montand's elegant and inimitable phrasing. The pity, it must be added, is that so much...
